The "Tarek's Flip Side" star seemed to be following her husband, whom The Blast reported shared a sweet Thanksgiving sentiment on Instagram. The four-day-old post included a picture of the real estate investor and his wife cozying up to each other on a boat. 

While the "Malibu Horror" actress donned a fluffy black robe, Tarek looked happy in a matching jacket which he used to keep the chill away. Expressing his feelings about Thanksgiving, the 41-year-old wrote:

"With Thanksgiving week starting tomorrow, there are a few things I want to say: Number one is that I couldn't be more thankful to have two healthy kids, a beautiful and healthy wife, and a baby boy on the way."

He pointed out that he was also thankful for his followers and fans who had been with him during his eventful two decades journey. Tarek added that they would be enjoying the holiday in La Quinta along with a little bit of business.
